here is my question for obama. i know he likes to say he does not watch cable television, but maybe he should start. listen to the stuff he got away with. the latest thing we got from romney was show people in the emergency room if they are poor. you don't have any care for these people. what are you talking about? we have it on tape, governor, what you think about these people. don't say you care about old people because you met somebody at a campaign event. you have ignored 47% of the people before you came out tonight. there is a hot debate going on in this country. it is being held here on this network. we have our knives out. we go after the facts. he was like, an hour and a half, i think i can get through this thing. i am coming out an incumbent. you have to be the champ, and i am going to begin tonight. i don't care what this moderator things, because i am going to ignore him. what was from the doing? he was winning. >> mr. romney was not specific because he wants to leave it up to the states, and rightly so
